The Battle of Monmouth was the longest battle of the war. Its first stage saw the American advanced force of 6,400 men, led by General Charles Lee, forced to hastily retreat by the British army of 13,000, to avoid from being destroyed. The second stage saw Washington's main body of Continental army arrive on the battlefield, and join Lee's disordered units. The Americans, quickly reformed and were able to beat back repeated British assaults, until the darkness put an end to the battle. The casualties were: Americans 360, British 358. Tactically the battle remained undecided, but strategically it should be considered a minor British victory, because Washington's army wasn't able to effectively hamper the planned British strategic retreat from its dangerous position in Philadelphia towards New York.
